Abstract

Based on a computer assisted analysis of the anatomic and biomechanic features of 200 subjects, the authors propose a dynamic approach to the exploration of the cervico-thoraco-brachial pathway. Results are given for 70 healthy and diseased subjects. Ultrasonic evaluations of the arterial component, dynamic echography of the axillo-subclavian venous component, electrophysiology including conventional electromyography, somesthesic and motor evoked potentials, and advanced imagery provide a panel of complementary diagnostic techniques.
